Awesome, PW! Glad to hear that the end is in sight with the expander. Your upper arch looks fantastic in your photo - I'm sure it's even better now, two weeks later! Isn't it amazing how fast the alignment stage happens? It feels good to make that kind of progress. Keep up the good work!

Ok. So here's the most recent picture taken of my teeth just a few minutes ago. That adjustment has sure made some sort of a difference.

MommaDucky: Yeah, it is amazing how fast the alignment stage has been going. Thanks for the encouragement. I'll pass it on to my teeth. It might add to their already high self esteem. Just kidding.

KK: I'm super ecstatic about the RPE coming out. I'm glad there's an actual SET date.

I've been debraced...finally. It all took place August 5, 2009. Two years since I lasted posted I had been wearing only my top braces. About a month later my bottom brackets were put on. A year later I was wearing elastics...and if I hadn't been so stubborn about wearing them all the time, I probably would've had my braces off in less than two years. A year after first starting elastics, I had my braces taken off, just in time for my birthday wish was 3 days after getting them taken off. So far I'm pleased with the results. Grant it, I'm having trouble with my right lateral incisor (it pushing itself back...) and canines are slightly discolored. Good news is that I go back in four months to get a bonded retainer on top and after talking to my dentist about it, I'm planning on professionally whitening my teeth in February. What can I say, it's been a long journey but I'm so pleased by the results.

I'll have to post pictures soon.

This is completely irrelevant to my story, but I have got to be the biggest dweeb. What happen to being able to change the topic title like I was able to back in the day? lol I guess that's what happens when you don't update for two years.

Retainer....GO LONGHORNS!
